Exhaustion or Expantion?

Hello my beautiful souls, it has been a minute!

This month feels like a whirling vortex of energy and shifts. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced anything quite like it.

Even after having each of my beautiful babies (life-changing, yes, but still somehow meant for me), it felt different to what I’m going through now. Becoming a mother stretched me (literally right lol?) grew me, reshaped me… but this? This is another level.

For months I’ve been studying, running my business, juggling babies, trying to keep up with socials, and pouring my heart into my free resources. (Newsflash, we can’t do it all, and we’re not meant to)!

At the start of business, yes you wear all the hats. But the real growth comes when you learn to prioritise. To ask, 'What tasks actually move me forward, and what can I let go of for now?' For too long, I thought social media was the priority. In truth, my studies and my offers needed my energy.

Then came the beginning of August. I spent over a week away from my babies, immersed in powerful trainings, learning transformational techniques (and living through them myself). It was incredible… and it was draining. Emotional.

And less than three days after getting back, still jetlagged as hell, I was in back-to-back interviews to hire my very first Virtual Assistant. My first team member. A milestone, and no doubt, another big lesson in business.

Add with my eldest on school summer holidays, my 9-month-old hitting peak separation anxiety, and us moving house in FIVE days (yes, boxes everywhere, freezer meals on repeat, and chaos in every corner), you’d think I’d be flat-out exhausted.

And yet… I’m not.

Yes, I’m tired. But it doesn’t feel exhausting. There’s a difference.

This stress feels healthy. Exhilarating. Life-changing. Expansive.

Even though I teach this stuff, I’d forgotten for a while, things get to feel this way. To feel easy. Busy doesn’t have to mean heavy. Stress can feel exciting. Hard work can feel fulfilling.

This is what I want you to know, life gets to feel like this for you too.

Even when it’s busy. Even when there are challenges. Even when your calendar is stacked and your to-do list feels never-ending. When you have support, systems, and alignment with what feels true and good for you… it doesn’t feel like drowning. It feels like living.

You have it within you to create this life. Every single day, you get to choose: joy or frustration. Peace or chaos. Fulfilment or resentment. To see life as happening to you, or for you.

Because here’s the truth, if you’re not willing to change, but still expect different results, that’s the very definition of insanity.

So I’ll leave you with this question, beautiful soul:

What are you currently unwilling to change?

Because that’s the very thing you need to…
